IMPROVEMENT IN STACK-COVERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent Nol79,976, dated July 18, 1876; application filed March 21, 1876.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, GEORGE E. TUGK, HERBERT Donn, and JAMES STEINsoN, of Ridgway, Winneshiek county, Iowa, have invented anew and Improved Stack-Cover, of which the following is aspeoi-tlcation:

The invention consists in a conical stackcover, provided with a lifting-ring at its apex,

The cap may be made of Water-proof material; but probably ordinary canvas, with a coating of Waterproof paint, will generally be used.

D is a ring or loop, placed at the apex of the conical cap, so that the latter may be conveniently lifted with a rod or pole having a fork at one end, and then dropped over the grain or hay without the trouble of climbing, by ladder or otherwise, upon the stack.

What We claim isy A stack-cover, of conical form, and having a lift-ring, D, at the apex thereof, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
